Free Level Editor Update Now Available + Steam Workshop Contest!

Hey there again fellow dead heads!

Dying to win the respect and admiration of hordes of fellow players from around the world? Then this is your moment, as we’re extremely excited to announce that we’ve just launched the totally Free Level Editor Update for Zombie Night Terror! So now not only are you the putrid power behind the zombie apocalypse, but now you can craft the very earth on which your undead armies march just in time for Halloween.

The editor is based on the very tools that we used to create the game and provides you with everything that you might need to forge your very own zombiegeddon to challenge yourself. That’s not all though, as the The Level Editor comes with full Steam Workshop support, letting you share every misstep of your own hellish creations with other like-minded pseudo-sado-masochists the world over!

Start slow by crafting a single level, then crank things up with a full chapter loaded with enemies, traps, bonuses, mutations, and intellectually superior dialogue of your own choosing, all of which unfolds according to your devious plan.

Where does the camera go? What music works best? How is the level won or lost? All these questions and more are yours to answer. And let’s not forget your artistic choices when it comes to intricate pipework, which - let’s face it - everyone loves.

This new Level Editor Update allows you to do the following:

  • You can create one level, or a whole chapter with several levels
  • Create the setting, place traps and enemies, add props
  • Choose enemies, tell them where to go and what to do
  • Write your own dialogue for the enemies
  • Select bonuses and mutations, and place them strategically
  • Control the camera placement and movement
  • Set the win/lose conditions for the levels, and design challenges for each level
  • Select sound tracks to accompany your creation
  • Share your level and rate levels created by other users
